Doggies, Doggos and Doggeroos!

We used Wisdom Panel, and they use blood or saliva, and I think most of the others do tooo.
She's adorable.Several months ago, infact probably at least two years ago, I documented on here about my permanent move to Spain, and the process I was going through. I also said that my partner and I already had an imaginary Galgo, a Galgo that didn't yet exist, and he was going to be black and male, and go by the name of Cortes.
Well a few months ago we finally got down to trying to adopt a Galgo, with no success, until my Spanish friend heard of a litter of puppies born outside town.
Anyway, we expressed an interest in one, asked for a male, and hoped for the best.
A little puppy was delivered to my friends house, no charge, just a puppy looking for a home, but it wasn't a male, ha ha, and it wasn't a black dog, its officially cinnamon, so as the great Neil Young sang about, I also have a Cinnamon Girl.
We obviously couldn't call her Cortes, so we decided on Condesa.
I'd like to introduce her to you. . . . . . . .
Above pics taken at two months old
It became apparent that all was not well, she had severe intestinal trouble, blood in her stool, and a dreadful itch on her skin, which was patchy. We took her to the vet and he wrongly diagnosed a skin infection and we wasted a month dealing with this. She actually had dog scabies which duly transferred to myself and my partner, its cured now but it wasn't pleasant for her or us.
Recovering at ten weeks
Wrestling with a bone
Then, another disaster, she contacted Parvovirus and was at death's door for three days, but after a week in hospital she came home, weak and devastated by the virus, but she's a fighter.
Two months later she's still feisty, still thriving after the above picture, which is heartbreaking
Now at five months, growing by the day
She's even bigger after that pic was taken
On Feb 16th she is six months old, and it's as if she's always been here
She is stubborn, intelligent, feisty, full of energy and the desire to run at full pelt
Forever eating, forever looking for our love, sometimes downright naughty and voiciferous
But she's our girl
CONDESA
Wow!!!!!! That’s an absolutely amazing story. Thank you for sharing that and the photos.Several months ago, infact probably at least two years ago, I documented on here about my permanent move to Spain, and the process I was going through.

She is one tough cookie and absolutely adorable. Hopefully all the health scares are in the past. She’s a beautiful girl!
Thank you so much
She is a tough cookie, and she's thriving
One of my favorite things about this thread is getting to see these little ones grow.
@Finn has been sending us photos of Riley since she was a puppy!!
